32gb.
Everything higher would be SDxc and thus not compatible with our device
I'm using a class 4 card and feel it's sufficient. But since SD cards are fairly cheap in most countries nowadays, I'd choose a class 10 card. They just read and write way quicker (and can subsequently also be applied to enhance your RAM ).

I want to upgrade the stock 4 GB microsd in my unrooted htc desire to a 16 GB microsd card. My question is can I copy what is on the 4 GB microsd and transfer them to the new 16 GB microsd and just insert it in? would all programs work?
many thanks for your help.
Yet, the apps are on the phones memory and the info is on the SD card so you can just copy across.

Cheers for the helpful reply.
Are ebay unbranded 16GB microsd cards reliable? Do they work?
i would stay away.

I agree - I had lots of problems with an unbranded 16GB card. Eventually ebay closed the seller down as there were so many complaints. I did get my money back via paypal. I finally bought a branded 32GB card - costly (EUR100!), but I love having so much space for my music / video.
Is there really a need for anything above class 4?
My HTC Desire came with a sandisc 4GB class 2. I want to get a larger card, but never had any reading issues with the class 2, and music and video played off it with ease.
I've seen the following item here, which is for a class 6.

Anyone got one of these?
I've just bought the 'ultra' version of Sandisk's 16GB microsd card and I am very impressed with it so far.
Personally, I always feel that it is best to stick with the tried and trusted brands, and sandisk products have always been excellent for me
I just bought a 16GB SanDisk class 2 from amazon and it writes on average at 5MB ish
-------------------------------------
Sent from my HTC Desire
I thought the class number i.e. 2 meant the read and write speed 2Mbps. Therefore class 6 would be 6Mbps. If you have a class 2 and get 5Mbps then that is pretty impressive.
The Class of the SD card is simply the *minimum* sustained write speed on a card which is completely unfragmented. So, a completely blank Class 2 card should always be able to write large files out at least 2mb/s, but can easily be faster.
My 16gb Sandisk Class 2 reads at 20mb/s and writes at 7.5mb/s - well above the Class 6 minimums.
Regards,
Dave
my 32gb is a class 2 and i have zero issues with streaming video or music from the card, i expect when i root that apps will not be an issue either. plenty of read write speed.
the higher classes are for devices that require a higher bitrate for recording such as mini hd recorders and such.
Im running a SanDisk 16GB Class 6 and its like Lightning!
One of my friends is going to buy a Droid X and Verizon is offering a 32GB MicroSD for $100 with the purchase of a Droid X. My friend already has a 16GB MicroSd and does not want to spend any more money. He offered to get me the 32GB MicroSD from Verizon if I gave him the money. Does anyone know what's the highest capacity MicroSD supported in the Captivate? Everywhere I read it says "up to 32GB" supported which I "assume" includes the integrated 16GB.
its 32gb. it what most of all new phones capacity. it means whooping 48gb that we can have in samsung captivate. now thats alot of memory.

Could you please point me to a link where I can verify this information. I hate to waste $100. 48GB sound great, but I want to be completely sure.
I dont think you can use a 32gb. Everywhere ive read it says 16gb max is what is supported.
I think because the internal memory is actually an SD card itself, and the max sdhc standard can handle is 32. So 16 internal and 16 microsd = 32 -> full

Look under "SD card and phone storage" and it clearly has an "internal SD card" as well as external
which is why i mentioned the above
pdadb.net says "microSD, microSDHC, TransFlash
Supports High Capacity (SD 2.0/HC) memory cards with capacity of up to 32GB"
they could be wrong though. id get a 16 just in case. the proce on the 32 is retarded high for now.
I have a 32GB SanDisk card in my Captivate.
I bought it yesterday from Verizon's website for $99 including free next day shipping.
The captivate fully supports the SDHC format, thus it supports adding cards up to 32 gigs. Should be the same for any SDHC compliant device. The only exception to this are a hand-full of devices that support 4gig and smaller SDHC cards via ugly hacks.
On a side note, it's redundant to say " supports SDHC up to 32 gigs", since there will never be a SDHC card >32 gigs, but that's advertising for you

I have a 32 gb card now, and the internal of 16. Both show up at their correct capacities, and when I fill them all the data is accessible.
Ah, it's too bad that ALL the prerelease materials state the maximum SD size as 16 GB. I would have purchased a 32 gig if I had known.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
its 32gb
(too short )
All Galaxy S devices can support external SD cards up to 32gb, that is excluding the internal storage. I have a 32gb card in mine, which I will never ever fill up.
Samsung's site, FYI, currently specifies 32GB support for the microSD card slot:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SGH-I897ZKAATT-features
If you got $200 to spare you can buy a 64gb sdxc card and see if it works. I personally don't need that much space, but i can use that much money
The only time it wasnt recommended to use a 32G was with a MiUi rom but
i think that issue is fixed anyway
SDXC in captivate
The temptation of 80gb on my phone was too great- I caved and bought a 64gb SDXC card from sandisk for 80 bucks. I dumped a few videos from my desktop onto the card to test it out, and got a damaged sd card message, prompting to format it. I clicked okay, forgetting that the ICS build I'm using formats internal SD instead of external SD. So that hurt.
Next I tried a nook color using CM7. Got the same damaged sd card, but it was able to format it. I got a reboot as it attempted to re-mount it following the format, but following the reboot, it was usable. It played video and showed up as 59.6GB or something close. This newly android-formatted card wouldn't work in when stuck back in the captivate, however. It's possible that it will work on a different rom- one that's able to format it itself, but after losing the internal SD, I'm going to hold off on messing around with an old GB rom.
(1) I'm going to buy a galaxy s4 when it comes out. I know it would probably be cheaper to buy the 16 mg version ,then buy micro sd card.
My question is does the phone work faster from the internal memory or does it pulll info just as fast from a micro sd card?
(2). Would sandisk extreme pro be a good choice ?

I was told that sandisk doesn't work well with Samsung brand so I suggest you to buy Samsung sd card as well
Like anything, internal memory will always be faster...

i have been using the SanDisk Ultra 32 GB MicroSDHC Class 10 and it works fine in the sg3
just make sure you get the ultra class 10 as it has faster speeds than the lower class cards
put the things that need to pull up fast on the internal memory like apps and put everything else on the card like music and things you wont notice a difference on

Not always true. I recommend reading benchmark test on the card you want to by and its competitors. I've seen some benchmarks where a Class 6 Sandisk beat out a Kingston Class 10 in the past in "some" writing areas.
I had a nightmare with sandisk in general both in my dslr and GS2. I use Lexar now and never had one issue. Sandisk has great customer service though. Refunded all 3 of my pro cards.

If the Galaxy S4 supports the UHS sdcards (45mb or 90mb read/write) then that would be as fast as you need imho.

This is extremely true! Never trust an SD card by what the claims are on the box. I have purchased many SD cards (all brands) over the last couple of months. 6 class 10 Sandisk all 32GB from different sources (Amazon, Best Buy, Radio Shack, etc...) and none of them benchmarked in at class 10. Most were between class 4 and 8 write speeds with read speeds being a bit better. 2 PNY 32 GB class 10 cards. Both of those tested above class 10 performance but died within 2 weeks. I have not been able to find and Amazon Basics 32 GB Class 10, but the other Amazon cards I have tried have worked well. Samsung cards seem to work well as well, but I have not benchmarked any of them. It really seems to be a crapshoot if you get a good card or not. Each specific device seems to like some brands better than others. Also, there is a huge (and I mean huge) problem with counterfeit cards and misrepresented (changed) class of cards flooding all markets. So good luck and let everyone know if you find a good card.
I also would say, download and do a full write format on the card with sdformatter https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/ prior to use. I have gotten many 4 speed cards to record hd video on my t3i just by using that software, when a regular format won't work.

My galaxy s3 supports uhs class 1 64gb sd card. .. sure s4 will support it..

Hey everyone,
I'm considering buying the Nvidia Shield and I would like to use more than the 16GB internal storage. I'm looking to buy a 32GB Micro SD card and format it to FAT32. Which SD card class should I buy?
Thanks a bunch
hello?

Class 10 UHS-1? I hesitate to answer this question because even with that card I'm only transferring data at 12mb/s. Usually its an abysmal 4mb/s. Definitely not normal but the I just deal with it.
My card is a Sandisk 64gb class on 10 UHS-1. I should be getting minimum 10mb/s, max 45mb/s. Smh.

I'm thinking of getting the Sandisk 32 GB 10 UHS-1 (seen here), since I don't want to deal with 64GB and above SD cards. It was my understanding that the higher the card in terms of size, the lower its' performance and inability to be used on the shield. Am I correct on this one?
Yeah Android is funny like that, I had big problems using a 64gb sdxc on my Galaxy s3 but I'm pretty sure that problem was isolated to Samsung devices. I'm far more of a PC guy than mobile so it seems strange to me that higher capacity performs poorly compared to low capacity, where nand SSD's are the opposite.
That being said I've had no issues other than speed with a 64gb sdxc in my Shield. Haven't seen anyone complain about the 128gb either.
Better to get input from someone who actually knows something about secure digital memory.
The main Problem...
The thing is, thcard is a UHS-1 class SDXC card, but the micro sd card reader doesnt support sdxc or UHS-1. So your card will never go faster than stupid slow...I have the Samsung evo which has 48mb/s and im lucky if it pushes 10mb/s...
The shields port limits it to true class 10 which IS 10mb/s. I hope this clears that up..lol
Basically, Sandisk, Transcend and Samsung Evo Micros are the best to get. I personally use this in mine, it's just a well made card...
http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Mic...id=1405501012&sr=8-1&keywords=transcend+micro
Thanks for all your comments!
So... I feel I should buy a 32GB SD Card as long its' a class 10 card. I personally like SanDisk, so I feel like using that.
In any case, I'm still having some thoughts about the Nvidia Shield, but it will straighten up soon enough.
Again, Thanks a BUNCH for helping me out and sort this issue for me ^_^
Hi,
I want to install a new ROM in my TF700, with ROM2SD/DATA2SD and for that I am going to buy a Micro SD card.
The thing is I do really want to buy the fastest Micro SD card possible, but I don't understand the all variety of Micro SD card models/specs.
Can someone suggest me some micro sd cards (32GB?) that will be compatible and fast with TF700?
I have both the Scandisk Ultra UHS class 10 and the Samsung Evo.
I get better write speeds (and performance on data2sd) on the Samsung Evo UHS class 10.
The Samsung Pro also works well.
Forget those that promise 90mbs or more - IF the card actually gets that speed other than in an optimal test environment at the manufacturer, our CPU would become the bottleneck...
Make sure you buy from a reputable source and if from Amazon not the "frustration free packaging". It's disgusting how many fakes are sold out there....
